This is a great instrumentBy Edon 7/25/2015

As an engineering technician for a medical device company, I am used to working with laboratory grade equipment. This refractometer is more than just a meter, I consider it an instrument. Once you get good lighting to read the scale clearly, it is reliable, repeatable and so very easy to use. I also like the weight of it, it gives me the feel of holding a precise instrument not some plastic device. All this and the added benefit of including the calibration fluid, adjustment driver, plastic dropper and even a micro fiber cloth at a very reasonable price makes me a very satisfied customer. Thanks Mr. Chili!

Great product from BRS. Easy to calibrate and easy to read your waters salinity parameters. The price is unbeatable as well.

I've replaced my generic refractometer with BRS product. They looks the same, but BRS is heavier and actually fits into the case. Also holds calibration better.
Happy with purchase

Simple easy to read/use productBy RAMONon 5/17/2015

I Just used my new REFRACTOMETER for the first time, after years of using a basic hydrometer for checking my salt levels. I was surpisurprised at how simple it was to set up , calibrate and use. I assumed that since v it is more precise and scientific then a hydrometer it would be tuff to use. But with included instructions it was an ease to use. I definitely recommend this product.

I had to get use to how to read the blue line at 1st. After playing around with my lighting and found the right angle that makes the blue line super clear I was 110% satisfied with my purchase. I feel I really trust my measurements and my old hydrometer was way off!

I decided to get this as it was on sale. Well to my surprise this was very easy to calibrate, and accurate. My plastic hydrometer was measuring 1.020 all the time but it was actually 1.025 by the refractometer. I can trust this meter.

Way better than a swing arm hydrometerBy Thomason 4/26/2015

I've been using a swing arm style hydrometer for the longest time now and was always concerned about salt build-up around the arm and it messing up my readings. I finally decided it was time to upgrade and man do I love the refractometer. The included calibration fluid is super easy to use. The only qualm I have with it is, it can be difficult to get a precise measurement such as 1.0255 because the measurement lines are pretty close together. Looking through it a very bright light improves its readability though.
